Filesearching question

[ericyeoh]

Hi,

 

Is there any alternative to perform searching on file from (Max to min) in a particular folder.

For instant, a folder consist multiple file and started with alpha "w"

w100, w50, w1 , w10000, w53, w66 and so on.

How possibly i can get the max and min by for alpha stared with "w" using the search engine?

First i have set the destination FileselectFolder("". "destination")

Local $hsearch = FileFindFirstFile(*.*)

Thanks

Yeoh

#include <Array.au3>
; imagine this populated from _FileListToArray
Local $a[5]=["w100","w50","w10000","w53","w66"]
Local $temp[UBound($a)][2]
For $i = 0 To UBound($temp)-1
    $Temp[$i][0]=$a[$i]
    $Temp[$i][1]=Number(StringRegExpReplace($a[$i],"(w)",""))
Next
_ArraySort($Temp,0,0,0,1)
; repopulate...or just use Temp moving forward
For $i = 0 To UBound($Temp)-1
    $a[$i] = $Temp[$i][0]
Next
_ArrayDisplay($a)

output:

[0]|w50
[1]|w53
[2]|w66
[3]|w100
[4]|w10000
 

edit: oops, max to min would use this sort instead:

_ArraySort($Temp,1,0,0,1)

THAT output would be:

[0]|w10000
[1]|w100
[2]|w66
[3]|w53
[4]|w50
